The Israel-Palestine conflict enters its 14th day with cautious hope as global leaders broker a breakthrough in humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak met Israeli President Isaac Herzog Thursday, urging “restraint” and a path to de-escalation.
Israel announced Wednesday it will permit Egypt to send limited aid to Gaza via the Rafah crossing—provided supplies don’t reach Hamas. U.S. President Joe Biden confirmed Egypt agreed to open the crossing for up to 20 trucks, calling it a “critical first step” after talks with Egyptian officials. Still, UN agencies stress Gaza’s 2 million residents need far more to survive.
Why it matters: With Gaza’s water and fuel supplies nearly exhausted, this deal offers a fragile lifeline. But tensions remain high—Israel continues airstrikes, while Hamas has vowed retaliation. Analysts warn the aid agreement could collapse if fighting intensifies.
